The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors has taken a significant step to support agriculture and agritourism by approving the establishment of a new office dedicated to these sectors. This initiative aims to revitalize business opportunities in unincorporated areas of the county, which often face unique challenges compared to urban regions.

The newly formed office will focus on promoting local agricultural practices, supporting farmers, and encouraging agritourism ventures. By doing so, the county hopes to enhance the economic viability of rural areas, attract visitors, and increase awareness of the importance of local agriculture.

County officials believe that by fostering a stronger connection between consumers and local producers, the new office can help sustain the agricultural heritage of Santa Clara County while also providing a boost to the local economy. This initiative reflects a commitment to balancing growth and development with the preservation of the county's agricultural landscape.
